Morning Butch! I lost symbegonia a bit ago. It was thriving and then did the nose dive. Not sure why. I have another coming.
Luxurians is doing fine. I have one that I got from a Daver last year, and then I bought one at the convention that was marked as something else. It's under grow lights. But we have a big mother plant at the arboretum so if I lose mine, I can always get another.
Your b. pollux is looking way better than mine! My Fiji isn't doing too bad, but I've seen it look better. As it gets older it's so gnarled at the rhizomes (all fused) that it starts looking weird. I may need to rejuvenate it and start some new cuttings. My 'Cathedral Window' is looking pretty good too. You know, last year I did a leaf cutting of Fiji and this year it's grown out a bit and is very weird in how it has reverted. It's actually a pretty leaf. I'll try and get a photo of it.

In the mean time, here's a shot with a noid in the middle, don't care that I don't know it's name, it's a keeper! That's 'Fireflush' in the back right, some kind of aralia front right. 'Shamus' bottom left. Plectranthus argenteus 'Silver' about 8 o'clock, then a few impatiens balfourii, with the tiny begonia fuchsioides in the back there.

I know I've posted this begonia before, but I just love it!!
